Barrage

Barrage is a game where rival engineering companies race to harness Alpine rivers for massive hydroelectric output, turning water flow into points and profits in a taut resource management showdown. Set in the 1930s, you’ll stake claims on prime river basins, build and raise dams, carve pressure tunnels, and spin up powerhouses to meet shifting energy demands. Every decision is about timing and tempo—water isn’t consumed, it moves downstream—so clever placement lets you recapture flow you released earlier or capitalize on what your opponents send your way.

In Barrage, you will juggle limited engineers and heavy machinery on the signature Construction Wheel, locking actions and resources until the wheel cycles back to you. That single mechanism—plus shared waterways—creates fierce competition for terrain and tempo as you chase common power targets, fulfill personal contracts, and unlock upgrades, patents, and special buildings that round out your engine over five focused rounds. Master the timing of releases, outmaneuver rivals on the rivers, and ride the industrial surge to victory. Get Barrage today at Boarding School Games.
